Title StatementVariations in the composition of oil in citronella by E.E. Iruthayathas, H.M.W. Herath, R.O.B. Wijesekera, and A.L. Jayewardene
Physical Description133-146 illustrations
Summary, Etc.Commercial oil of citronella in Sri Lanka is distilled mainly from 'lenebatu' grass. In citronella plantations some mixed populations of 'lenabatu' and 'mahapengiri' types are found. Selections among these enabled eleven strains to be located. The propagation of these strains and the investigation of the essential oils distilled from them using gas liquid chromatography revealed differences among thirty-one of the chemical constituents. In addition to the oil from the vegetative parts of the plants, the flowering parts also yielded essential oils which again showed differences from the leaf oils of the same plant and variations among the strains. Correlation studies provided values which have helped to explain the factors influencing the production of one group of components more than another. The variability of the chemical composition of oils that are reported have been observed to be in accord with the genetic difference of the strains
